All year round Pragueโs islands are a great source of countless outdoor activities. They represent a serene oasis just a few steps away from the hustle and bustle of the city center.
The greenery of the islands allows for romantic strolls, picnics with friends, or jogging and other sports activities.
1) STลELECKร ISLAND
There is a small sandy beach on the northern tip, a unique spot where the river sings louder than the city. The spired building on the right bank is home to the museum of Bedลich Smetana, a composer who was inspired by the Vltava River for his famous symphonic poem.
2) ล TVANICE
A busy motorway cuts through this island, which was traditionally devoted to sports. Pragueโs oldest tennis club is here as well as a white water training facility and a bicross track. The slightly run-down villa next to it, which dates from 1824, has a bar where alternative theatre performances are organised.
3) CรSAลSKร ISLAND

4) LIBEลSKY ISLAND
From Libeลsk. Bridge head down the cycling trail for about 500 metres, leaving the sculptorโs studio on your right and the community gardens on your left behind you. Find a quirky secret bar at the end of a narrow footpath where you can enjoy a beer or a refreshing raspberry soda.
5) SLOVANSKร ISLAND
Also called ลฝofรญn, after a neo-Renaissance palace. In 1841, the first Czech-made steam engine was demonstrated here. Today, a miniature kidsโ minitrain runs on the 53-metre-long railway near the playground. There is a fountain with drinking water nearby. Alcohol consumption is banned in the park.
